Information about Route

This is a basic route showing the route that I use in my speedruns. It has alternate strats listed where necessary, but I rarely use those.

It is important to note that, like many other routes here, this assumes you know how to beat the game. It is hard to give tutorials for those who haven't yet beaten it.

It'll also have shop references for those running on the Japanese version.

If you are running on the English version, I highly recommend using the Red version, as Nidoran Males have a high encounter rate on Route 22.

If you are running on the Japanese version, I recommend either using the Blue Version, as Nidoran Males have a "'very high'" encounter rate on Route 22, and these are most likely Level 4's, which means you can determine if your Nido is runnable easier.

Battle notes (Japanese users will need to read this)

For moves used by the foe, it is a general rule of thumb that:

Moves that quickly shake the screen vertically are attacking moves

Moves that slowly shake the screen horizontally are status moves

If it doesn't shake, either it missed, or it was an X-Item used.

I "'will'" tell you the order of the first four moves by each battling Pokemon here:
